    I remember seeing her exiting the cockpit when I was on a flight from San Francisco to Portland in the 90s. The legendary Jim Brown and I were the only two black people on the plane and we gave each other a look of astonishment when we saw her. That was almost thirty years ago, I will always remember the petite, dignified, beautiful black pilot. Amazing, sister!!

    @0:46 I was a little Black girl who didn't know that it was possible for me to be a pilot. I'm sooooooo happy to see her opening doors for the next generation. I would love to see @ABCNews do a follow-up story on Captain Claiborne to allow her to share her story in further detail. I see a movie deal happening for her or at the very least a docuseries. ❤🙏🏾❤ God bless Captain Theresa Claiborne.
